River is outwardly and comfortably bi. Ciarain is not. Ciarain has deep, dark secrets and trauma that molded him into who he is today. No matter how much they fight, their chemistry can't be ignored.
After a major blow up, they are sent to the mountains for a 5 week getaway to force their relationship to mend and become something other than hate. Sparks fly, tears fall, secrets are revealed and things change. But not necessarily for the better.
The book ends on a cliffhanger. Be ready. I am just really really glad the next one (After Rain Falls) is already queued up and ready to go.
High angst
Enemies to lovers (maybe)
Many other triggers

Iām torn on rating the book because of the thoughtlessness of the CW situation, but I decided to rate it as just the contents of the story and settle for leaving appropriate CWs on here and the mini-rant above.
This book ripped my heart right out. Devastating and emotional, full of pain and angst but also discovery and joy. Be prepared to read both books of this duology together as this book ends on a cliffhanger with no HEA/HFN. The next book does pick up right from the scene at the end. The writing is a little odd at times, and learning this was the authorās debut makes that make sense. The vibes are perfect though. For this book. The next oneā¦. well. Itās *weird.* Iāll deal with that later thoughā¦
